Digital BW, The Print

When you modify an image in LR, true, it's a non-destructive, but when you
use the export function to create a new image file, converted to another
file type or not, that new image will contain all the adjustments you made
in the editing module. This is how to make adjustments for use on the web.
That's why LR isn't a plain file type converter. It doesn't have a "Save as
...." option; you have to go through the export function to save all your
edits into a new file.
